About Miko:

Miko is a Mumbai-based consumer robotics innovation company building intelligent, engaging products for children. Our multidisciplinary team brings together engineers, mathematicians, educators, and psychologists to create technology that makes learning more interactive and fun.

Our flagship product, Miko 3, is an AI-powered educational robot designed for children aged 5–10 and is loved by families across India, the US, UK, and UAE.

What You'll Do:

• Develop mechanical designs that align with product architecture, functional requirements, and design specifications.
• Ensure designs incorporate safety, reliability, quality, and manufacturability from the early stages of development.
• Own mechanical design modules while balancing performance, quality, cost, and timelines.
• Conduct concept development and feasibility studies and evaluate new technologies and engineering approaches.
• Create and maintain detailed 3D models, manufacturing drawings, BOMs, and design documentation as per engineering standards.
• Ensure seamless integration and compatibility of mechanical components within modular product architectures.
• Support product development through DFM/DFA, material selection, tolerance analysis, and design optimization.
• Conduct design calculations and support FEM/FEA analysis to validate mechanical performance.
• Create DFMEA, identify potential product risks, and implement appropriate design mitigations.
• Ensure mechanical designs meet applicable product certification and country-specific regulatory requirements.
• Prepare functional requirements and technical documentation for developed designs.
• Plan and track assigned work, including work breakdown, timelines, and cost estimates, and communicate progress to stakeholders.
• Stay updated with emerging mechanical engineering technologies, tools, materials, and design practices.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including electronics, firmware, industrial design, manufacturing, and quality.

What We're Looking For:

• B.E./B.Tech./M.Tech. in Mechanical or Mechatronics Engineering.
• Strong knowledge of mechanical/structural design, CAD modeling, and manufacturing drawings.
• Hands-on experience with 3D CAD tools such as SolidWorks, Creo/Pro-E, Solid Edge, or equivalent.
• Good understanding of engineering calculations, tolerance analysis, and design validation.
• Knowledge of FEM/FEA and the ability to interpret and apply simulation results.
• Experience with DFMEA, DFM/DFA, material selection, and EBOM creation.
• Understanding of mechanical product development processes, engineering standards, and manufacturing methods.
• Ability to translate product requirements into functional mechanical requirements and design solutions.
• Knowledge of IEC 60601 or other relevant product safety standards is a plus.
• Strong problem-solving and system-thinking mindset, with attention to detail and design quality.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively within a cross-functional team.
• Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to explain and advocate for design decisions.
• A proactive, ownership-driven approach with a focus on quality, timelines, and results.
• Ability to work effectively in a diverse, collaborative, and fast-paced environment.
